taking an official break

As opposed to my many unofficial ones haha - this time I’m letting you know. I’m going to take a couple of weeks off here - but planning on being back at some point in the new year!

But first - here are some festive photos to last you through the holiday season. These steampunk christmas decorations were in Leeds Corn Exchange in 2018 and I really loved how unique and fun they were. I think its just red and green baubles this year, which are fine - but these were just so fun I had to take photos.

Bonus shot of my reflection in a bauble - classic!

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season - see you in 2022!

Unexpected Surprises

One of my favourite things about film photography - after all this time - is that anything can go wrong at any stage and you will have no idea why - and the result will be something like this! I have no idea what happened - but I like it.

p.s. I also love all my previous ‘unexpected suprise’ posts - definitely check out the tag below!

Knaresborough Details

More lovely details from Knaresborough taken with the expired ISO 800 film shared in the last post. Again I wasn’t so sure about the grain at first but it really has grown on me and I know some people really do love it. I do however love the content and the details that cuaght my eye - especially the light in the 3rd photo of the little alleyway.

Inside the Bowes Museum

If you live in the UK - you may be aware that Barnard Castle has been in the news recently due to its now unfavourable association with politicial strategists and their eyesight. What you may not know is that just five minutes down the road from Barnard Castle, is a rather stunning building called The Bowes Museum.

The Bowes Museum is a purpose built museum of art, fashion and design founded by John and Joséphine Bowes in the 1800’s filled with treasures of all kinds and I have to say that I was blown away by it. Not only was the building and the gardens stunning, but the collections themselves were also fascinating.

I used a very old 800 ISO film for these which is why they have such a delicious grain appearance. I don’t usually prefer this much grain but once I got my head round the fact that this was what the roll was going to look like, I became quite fond of the results.
